KATHMANDU: The Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) has decided not to join the coalition of the Nepali Congress (NC) and the CPN-UML.

The decision was made during a meeting of the party’s secretariat held earlier this morning, according to RSP chief whip Santosh Pariyar.

“As soon as the process of forming the new government begins, we will withdraw from the party,” said Pariyar.
